    Garmin c340 minor frustration

    Yeah, the system software updates are free. It's just the Maps Updates that cost you. :)

    CB Radio

    I don't use it much, but it does come in handy now and again. There have been several times where an accident up ahead would have meant getting into the traffic tie-up just after the exit I could have taken to avoid it all. It's come in handy to move into a specific lane to avoid gators, or in...

    That's what you got out of that? Really? A racial issue? Please tell me that you're either kidding or you have stolen your mommie's laptop. This is soooo not about any racial issue. You're right, they have nothing whatsoever to do with the original posting. They were put there as an absurd...

    Some, some, some, if, if, if, yeah, there are exceptions to everything. I'm not trying to point out all of the various permutations of humor, I'm pointing out the trend of mean-spirited male-bashing jokes and the effect they are now having on people and society at large. It's that simple. But...

    Garmin c340 minor frustration

    When you start out on a route, the Garmin is always calculating will still try and find a better route, and will do that right up until you arrive at the destination. In earlier versions of the software it will announce it had found a new route, and give you the opportunity to accept or reject...

    Sorry, my bad. Long night and little sleep. But whether it's listen up or lighten up, it's still a command for which you are not in the position to give. Please point out where I took any of these issues personally. Fact is, I didn't take them personally, and you don't know anywhere near enough...

    General Motors Chief Rick Wagoner Said to Step Down

    Apparently, when no one was looking Obama created a new Cabinet post called Automotive Industry Executive, and has filled the post simultaneously with as many or as few executives as he sees fit. He can hire and fire them at will. It's very kewl. It compliments quite nicely the Cabinet position...

    sprinter to ford/chevy

    The biggest problem with Sprinters happen when people try to treat them and maintain them as if they are something other than a Sprinter. If you treat a Sprinter the same way you would a Ford or a Chevy, you're gonna have problems. There are some fundamental differences between American and...

    "I don't believe most of the man-bashing jokes are mean spirited or demeaning any more than the blonde jokes are." Again, man-bashing jokes are aimed at all men, while dumb blond jokes are not aimed at all women. There's a difference, and when you stop laughing at a particular joke, go back and...

    The comparisons to dumb blond jokes, to justify man bashing jokes, is particularly lame, IMNSHO. Dumb blond jokes don't demean all women, or for that matter all blonds, just the dumb ones, and even then, they are rarely told in a demeaning or mean spirited way, because most will agree that not...

    Exactly. They've gone too far. Some still find them funny, because they've been conditioned to find it funny. Want a cheap laugh? Bash a man. The problem is when it spills over into real life where children view male adults as being inept and incompetent without even knowing what that means...

    " some people are born on third base and think they hit a triple." I love that. I'm gonna steal that (which should come as no shock to many here hehe)

    Hillary Does Mexico

    You know, the Hillary appointment, and her acceptance of it, may turn out to be one of the more interesting things to keep an eye on for the next several years. I was surprised that she took the job, quite frankly. For that matter, I'd have bet good money that Obama would have picked Luger for...

    UN Votes to Condemn Free Speech Against Religion

    It was covered in the mainstream media, buuuut not much of it. A resolution proposed by the 56-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and presented by Pakistan to the UN Human Rights Council condemns "defamation of religion." The language of the resolution seems innocent enough...

    Hillary Does Mexico

    Why would anyone conduct a poll on the Secretary of State... My sentiments exactly. Then again, the poll was conducted by the Clinton News Network. Poll: Clinton has high job approval - CNN.com I do get a kick out of the line, "Fewer than one in four disapprove." Biased or not, how can you...

    "Something of Historic Proportion is Happening" by Pam Geller
